"Alan'ca" a Streamline Moderne Art Deco Mansion - North Caulfield
Painted in crisp white, "Alan'ca" is a stylish Streamline Moderne Art Deco mansion in the Melbourne suburb of North Caulfield. The flat roof over the right hand side of the mansion, the rounded wall treatment and semicircular enclosed vestibule with its stepped parapet, speed lines and the minimal decoration across the building all pay homage to the chic, uncluttered lines of Streamline Moderne Art Deco architecture popular around the world in the 1930s. It almost has an elegant Hollywood mansion style about it as it basks in the sun. Even the angular, arrow like wrought iron in the narrow, elongated vestibule windows is very much in the spirit of the Jazz Age. A small piece of wrought iron in the Juliet balcony above the vestibule is equally Art Deco, as is the rounded, almost nautical porch light in its wrought iron frame. The original low fence with its wrought iron gate is also very Jazz Age and typical of the era.
"Alan'ca" has a smart terraced garden to complement the mansion.
Alan'ca is a place with a very small population in the province of Bilecik, Turkey. The closest major cities include Eskisehir, Bursa, Gebze and Istanbul. Perhaps the original owners went to Alan'ca before their home was built, thus inspiring the name emblazoned in elegant script on the front fence next to the gate.
